Grandma yoder's secret corn chowder

8 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 pounds Bacon
1 large Onion; chopped
1 can Cream of chicken soup
1 pint Half-and-half
2 cans Creamed corn
Salt and pepper; to taste

Directions

Start by cooking up the bacon. Grandma fried her bacon in a cast iron skillet, as does Freni, but when it's my turn to cook, I zap it in a microwave. Crumble the cooked bacon and set it aside, saving two or three tablespoons of the grease.

In a large pot, saute the onion in the bacon grease until it softens and begins to brown. Stir in the cream of chicken soup and the half-and-half.

Dump in the creamed corn and season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve with the crumbled bacon sprinkled on top. This soup tastes even better when made the day before and allowed to sit in the refrigearator overnight. Just rmemeber to heat it up very slowly the next day so it doesn't scorch, as it is rather thick.
